Paul,

Making such threats is pretty much never helpful, never mind that a term 
like "forclosing" is a bald mis-representation.

Any action by ICANN is independent of, and irrelevant to, TLDs in other DNS 
root systems.  Those other TLDs were created independently of ICANN, so 
ICANN can hardly be criticized for returning the favor.
